Contrast induced nephropathy - Open Access .click

European Radiology Supplements, 2005
How contrast medium-induced nephropathy (CIN) comes about is not fully understood, although CIN constitutes a leading cause of renal failure. Here, a short review of clinical trials and a more thorough outline of mechanisms thought to cause CIN are outlined. Osmolality is only one of several physicochemical properties of contrast media (CM).

Radiologic Contrast-Induced Nephropathy

Journal of Urology, 1984
Contrast nephropathy is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired renal insufficiency. While its exact pathogenesis is unclear, patients with existing renal disease are now known to be at increased risk for developing this complication. Identification of these patients by determination of serum creatinine levels may enable avoidance of contrast ...

Contrast-Induced Nephropathy

Yearbook of Anesthesiology and Pain Management, 2008
Any child in the intensive care unit undergoing diagnostic imaging using contrast material should be considered to be at risk to develop contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). The risk for CIN is increased in children with preexisting renal dysfunction Direct communication with the pediatric radiologist to minimize the dose of contrast material ...
